Was a big shock to hear of bits passing. Was only a week or so since we had catch up and cuppa. We had a lot of moments working together over the years between Mobil Anzac and Cooke Howlison Toyota. Always had his standard saying of... you'll miss me when I'm gone ....(after he had annoyed you) . Bitty you were right.. Our thoughts are with you Eunice and family. Selwyn and Pat Beazley
Mr. White, We will miss you popping into work to see Ross, chatting away telling jokes, having me on about loving holdens. You were always kind funny The love you had for Mrs. White always showed when you would talk about her. and the love for your girls and grandchildren and how proud of them you were. Rest in peace you will never be forgotten Justine & Daniel Cresswell and Family xx
Allan will always be remembered for his kindness, quiet strength, and wonderful sense of humour. From being a bridesmaid at his and Eunice’s wedding to spending time with them at Company Bay while they raised their girls, I have so many special memories of those years. He was always there to lend a hand — patient, practical, and generous with his time, especially when it came to helping me with my cars. Allan was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. To dear Eunice, the girls, and all the grandkids — my heart is with you. His love and care will live on through all of you. With love and fond memories, Glenis ❤️
So sorry to hear of Allan's passing. Tony has known him all his adult life. When it came to anything mechanical Allan was just a phone call away to help. Our thoughts are with you, and the girls, and the grandkids Eunice.
My thoughts and love are with you all at this very sad time. I know how treasured he was to Aroha who always speaks of her dear Poppa with such love and respect. Much love to you all Megan xx
My heart breaks for you all Eunice. Please accept my deepest sympathy and I hope you can find strength from the love around you
